Beyond Monitors: Intravenous Smart Pump Alarm Fatigue As a Safety Concern.

Intravenous smart pump alarm fatigue remains a persistent and underrecognized patient safety concern in acute and critical care settings. Although alarm fatigue has been traditionally associated with physiological monitors, intravenous smart pumps are also a frequent source of alarms for hospitalized patients that contribute substantially to alarm fatigue. This article synthesizes current evidence on intravenous smart pumps and related alarm fatigue, identifies knowledge gaps, and proposes short-term and long-term interventions.

Development of neutron activation analysis protocol for low power research reactors: The case of GHARR-1 miniature neutron source reactor (GHARR-1 MNSR).

We present an improved neutron activation analysis (NAA) protocol tailored for low-power (34 kW) Ghana Research Reactor-1 (GHARR-1), a miniature neutron source reactor (MNSR). This protocol is designed for routine multi-elemental analysis of sediment/soil samples. It requires 150 mg of analyte per irradiation section, and strategically adjusts irradiation and counting schemes based on radionuclide half-lives.
